Notes for Us
One presentation, timed!
Not the same old thing- numbers, data, etc.
Use kids or more video of kids
Panel suggestion: The next level for us will be to establish professional learning communities that extend beyond our school.
These PLC's could be enhanced with technology- IP video camera in targeted classrooms to capture model lessons/strategies, these lessons would be available in podcast form, other teachers can watch them and then discuss them in both face to face and social network settings.
A professor at UAFS could watch Pugh's lesson with his/her class of prospective teachers to better prepare them for some real world applications.
Our students/teachers could watch real-time lessons modeled by students/teachers at UAFS.
So, say one area of focus for us was the ipod/ipod touch collaboration with UAFS. We could ask for the mobile carts, IP video conferencing equipment/software, any other materials and supplies.
We could tie our other areas of focus (whatever we decide that we want to do- I really liked the netbook program at Fort Smith) to that PLC/collaborative group.
